Roman.pm has saved my bacon several times. The best was when I had to replace translation lists marked a, b, c, ... with i, ii, iii, ...
Roman did exactly what I needed. Trivial example:
use Roman;
while (<DATA>) {
chomp;
last if (/^$/);
my ($key, $data) = split(/\s+/, $_, 2);
$key =~ s/([a-z])/roman(1+ord($1)-ord('a'))/eg;
print join("\t", $key, $data), "\n";
}
exit;
__DATA__
a Johan
b Gambolputty
c von Haukopft
d-y (much deleted)
z of Ulm
which gives:
i Johan
ii Gambolputty
iii von Haukopft
iv-xxv (much deleted)
xxvi of Ulm
Not bad for so litle code and effort, eh?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
